   Yeah because they both benefit population control freaks like Bill Gates, the same people you claim to hate, idiot!

     @xianc78 In an abstract, yeah maybe; but in an immediate sense I don't know.
     I always have been, and remain in, support of both; abortion rights because I believe the state has no right to dictate what an individual does with their body (and I don't consider a fetus a detached entity, I consider it part of the mother), and Trans rights for much the same reasons with the additional reasoning that I do believe that transgenderism is a real medical thing, and transitioning is the right thing for (most) trans people.
     Now, both those perspectives come with an asterisk. I don't think abortion should be used as a method of birth control, I think it should be a last resort for situations like rape, incest, the life of the mother being in danger, or for mothers who are simply not ready for a child yet; and I think children transitioning too early could have drastic implications for them later on, the de-transitioner movement does exist for a reason.
     I do see where you're coming from, pushing them as *THE* issue definitely serves those interests, but claiming they're both intrinsically linked to those interests seems somewhat like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
     
     ...Okay poor choice of words, but you get the idea.
